5. User Interface
M-93 provides 2-wire digital UART port for co unication of GPS position
data using NMEA protocol or MTK extension protocol. UART port is capable of
4800 to 115200 baud rate.
5.1 NMEA Protocol
M-93 is default to support standard NMEA-0183 protocol. In addition, a series
of MTK extensions (PMTK essages) have been developed that can be used
to provide extended capabilities co on to any applications.
5.2 NMEA Protocol format
M-93 is capable of supporting following NMEA for ats:
NMEA RECORD Description
A PS fix data
LL eographic
SA NSS DOP and active satellite
SV NSS Satellites in view
RMC Recommended minimum specific NSS data
VT Course Over round and round Speed

6.4 Recommendation reflow profile
1. We strongly reco end that this odule should be designed to ount on
top side of otherboard with ain chip together which process the final
reflow.
2. The axi u frequency of this odule to pass reflow process should be
no ore than twice, including repair operation, otherwise it ay cause side
effect to the perfor ance.
3. Below is the reco end reflow profile referred to Main MTK chipSet.
